Shumlin  challenges  Vermont  to  focus  on  education By  DAVE  GRAM MONTPELIER  (AP)  â€”  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  devoted  his  second  inaugural  address  Thursday  almost  entirely  to  education,  calling  for  stron-­ ger  high  school  math  requirements  and  college  tuition  breaks  for  science,  technology  and  math  students. “Success  in  the  new  economy  depends  on  an  educated  workforce  with  skills  beyond  high  school  in  science,  computer  technology,  engi-­ neering  and  math,â€?  the  Democratic  governor  told  a  House  chamber  packed  with  lawmakers,  VWDWH RIÂżFLDOV 9HUPRQWÂśV FRQJUHVVLRQDO GHOHJD-­ tion  and  others.

To  change  that  dynamic,  the  governor  recommended  action  in  four  areas: ‡ 3XW PRUH PRQH\ LQ HDUO\ HGXFDWLRQ The  governor  noted  that  â€œ90  percent  of  a  child’s  brain  is  developed  in  the  ¿UVW PRQWKV RI OLIH ZKLOH RQO\ SHUFHQW RI WKH QDWLRQÂśV GROODUV DUH VSHQW during  this  critical  time.â€?  To  right  that  imbalance,  Gov.  Shumlin  said  he  would  direct  $17  million  â€”  taken  from  the  state’s  Earned  Income  Tax  Credit  â€”  to  early  childhood  education,  effectively  doubling  the  amount  of  money  the  state’s  currently  contributes  to  childcare  for  low-­income  families.  â€œThere  is  no  bigger  obstacle  to  Vermont  parents  who  want  to  work  or  advance  than  the  high  scost  of  quality  child  care,  â€?  the  governor  said,  adding  it  would  be  the  â€œlargest  single  investment  in  early  childhood  education  in  the  state’s  history.â€? ,PSRUWDQWO\ WKH JRYHUQRUÂśV SODQ DOVR LQFOXGHG PHDVXUHV WR SURYLGH ³¿QDQFLDO support  to  communities  that  initiate  publicly  funded  preschool  programs  where  they  do  not  now  exist,â€?  including  some  start-­up  costs  with  ongoing  support.   While  the  payout  won’t  be  seen  for  several  years,  it  is  a  hugely  important  initiative  that  should  help  encourage  more  students  to  do  better  in  school  and  pursue  higher  education. ‡ )HHG KXQJU\ VWXGHQWV VR WKH\ FDQ IRFXV RQ OHDUQLQJ Noting  that  thousands  of  Vermont  students  still  attend  school  hungry,  the  governor  said  his  budget  would  include  enough  funds  to  make  up  for  the  fed-­ eral  short-­fall  to  fund  subsidized  lunches. ‡ 0DNH KLJKHU HGXFDWLRQ PRUH DIIRUGDEOH DQG DFFHVVLEOH IRU 9HUPRQWHUV The  governor  asked  the  Legislature  to  approve  two  key  measures:  dual  enrollment  and  early  college  initiatives.  Dual  enrollment  allows  high  school  studnets  to  get  a  head  start  on  gaining  expensive  college  credits  by  enrolling  in  for-­credit  college  courses  while  they  are  in  high  school.  That  is  allowed  in  very  limited  circumstances  today.  The  governor  proposed  doubling  the  spending.  Other  early  college  initiatives  called  for  encouraging  more  students  to  si-­ PXOWDQHRXVO\ FRPSOHWH WKHLU VHQLRU \HDU LQ KLJK VFKRRO ZLWK WKHLU ÂżUVW \HDU LQ college  â€”  thus  saving  the  student  up  to  25  percent  of  the  cost  of  a  four-­year  college  degree.  The  governor  said  this  should  be  opened  to  all  Vermont  high  school  seniors,  with  the  money  following  the  student. To  further  help  Vermont  students  pay  for  their  college  education,  the  gov-­ ernor  proposed  a  plan  to  pay  for  their  senior  year  in  college  if  they  attend  a  9HUPRQW FROOHJH DQG LI WKH\ UHPDLQ LQ WKH VWDWH IRU DW OHDVW WKUHH RU ÂżYH \HDUV afterwards,  depending  on  the  degree  (see  full  text  of  the  governor’s  address  on  Pages  20-­21-­22.)  In  lauding  the  state  college  system  and  UVM,  he  announced  he  would  increase  the  state’s  appropriation  for  the  Vermont  State  Colleges,  96$& DQG 890 E\ SHUFHQW ² WKH ÂżUVW VXFK LQFUHDVH LQ WKH SDVW IHZ \HDUV ‡ )RFXV HGXFDWLRQ RQ FDUHHU UHDGLQHVV The  governor’s  fourth  point  was  to  put  more  effort  on  education  training.  He  suggested  the  development  of  Personal  Learning  Plans  that  followed  the  student  from  grade  school  through  college,  making  school  more  relevant  to  a  student’s  career  path.  He  also  suggested  a  mandate  that  all  Vermont  ninth  graders  take  algebra  and  all  tenth-­graders  take  geometry,  and  he  suggested  that  the  state’s  17  career  and  tech  centers  become  â€œthe  foundations  for  Vermont  Innovation  Zonesâ€?  matching  the  needs  of  area  employers. **********  Perhaps  most  importantly,  the  governor  set  the  stage  for  a  discussion  on  how  money  will  follow  the  student  in  high  school  and  beyond.  When  the  governor  calls  for  more  opportunities  for  high  school  seniors  to  take  college  classes  and  WR VLPXOWDQHRXVO\ FRPSOHWH WKH VHQLRU \HDU LQ KLJK VFKRRO DQG ÂżUVW \HDU LQ FRO-­ lege,  he  means  for  some  of  that  funding  currently  going  to  the  high  school  to  be  shared  with  the  higher  ed  institution.  It’s  a  bold  idea  that  is  an  essential  part  RI WKH PL[ LI FROOHJH FRVWV IRU 9HUPRQW VWXGHQWV DUH WR EH UHGXFHG LQ VLJQLÂżFDQW ways,  thus  allowing  Vermont’s  students  to  pursue  the  training  and  education  needed  to  get  those  higher  paying  jobs. It  was  a  stirring  speech  not  only  for  what  it  proposed,  but  because  he  estab-­ lished  a  new  plateau  on  which  education  will  now  be  discussed.  By  avoiding  the  pitfalls  of  past  conversations  â€”  Act  60  and  school  funding,  test  scores  and  the  controversy  around  testing,  and  an  emphasis  on  consolidation  â€”  he  was  able  to  focus  on  results  the  state  must  strive  to  achieve  and  lay  out  a  road  map  to  get  there.  That’s  the  mark  of  leadership.

with  some  humor,  perhaps  to  put  himself  at  ease  or  maybe  his  audi-­ ence,  stealing  from  others  is  no  laughing  matter.  As  a  professional  bookkeeper  and  treasurer  for  a  local  JRYHUQPHQW HQWLW\ , ÂżQG LW IUXVWUDW-­ ing  that  dishonest  individuals  have  cast  a  shadow  on  the  accounting  and  bookkeeping  profession  and  those  who  manage  the  money  of  others. However,  Mr.  Hughes  provided  important  suggestions  to  business  owners  and  managers  that  could  help  prevent  fraud  as  well  as  un-­ cover  current  fraud. Many  small  businesses  face  the Â

challenge  of  implementing  checks  and  balances  with  the  proper  divi-­ sion  of  duties  because  they  simply  don’t  have  the  staff  to  separate  du-­ ties  to  the  degree  needed  for  proper  internal  controls.  Business  own-­ ers  or  managers,  though,  need  to  educate  themselves  on  the  controls  necessary  to  monitor  the  work  of  those  handling  the  funds  that  come  into  and  go  out  of  their  organiza-­ tions.  I  have  been  fortunate  to  be  involved  in  annual  and  biannual  au-­ dits  with  some  of  the  organizations  that  I  work  for,  and  those  audits  are  (See  Embezzlement,  Page  5)

Texas theater group to bring ‘The Method Gun’ to Middlebury The Rude Mechs, an acclaimed Austin, Texas-­based ensemble the-­ ater company, will come to Middle-­ bury College for two performances of their play “The Method Gun” on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Mahaney Center for the Arts, Seeler Studio Theatre. “The Method Gun” is an original, devised-­theater piece that explores the life and techniques of Stella Bur-­ den, actor-­training guru of the ’60s and ’70s, whose sudden emigration to South America still haunts her most fervent followers. Burden’s training technique, The Approach (often referred to as “the most dangerous acting technique in the world”), fused West-­ ern acting m e t h o d s with risk-­ based rituals in order to infuse even BY GREG PAHL the small-­ est role with sex, death and violence. Using found text from the journals and perfor-­ mance reports of Burden’s com-­ pany, “The Method Gun” re-­enacts WKH ¿QDO PRQWKV RI KHU FRPSDQ\¶V rehearsals for Tennessee Williams’ classic drama “A Streetcar Named Desire,” a production nine years in the making. The Rude Mechs have received over 180 local and national awards and nominations for their work. They have given two off-­Broadway premieres, and have toured to top na-­

arts beat

‘LET FREEDOM RING!’ tional venues. The New York Times has called the Rude Mechs one of three ensemble-­ theater companies in the country “making theater that matters.” Please note that “The Method Gun” is geared for adult audiences, and includes strong content and nu-­ dity. Tickets are $25 for the general pub-­ lic. For more information, call 443-­ 6433 or go to http://go.middlebury. edu/arts. The Mahaney Center is located on the Middlebury College campus, at 72 Porter Field Road in Middlebury, just off Route 30 south. Ample free parking is available.

The  Tigers  failed  to  generate  momentum  from  that  score,  how-­ ever,  and  early  in  the  third  needed  Lalonde  to  skate  in  behind  Sherman  to  keep  a  Philip  bid  from  trickling  in.  Then,  at  5:48,  Morse  won  the  puck  in  the  left-­wing  corner,  circled  around  the  net  and  stuffed  it  home  for  a  2-­1  Rice  lead.  The  Tigers  had  four  good  chances  to  tie,  two  before  they  pulled  the  goalie  with  a  minute  to  go.  At  7:47,  Cruickshank  stopped  a  bid  from  the Â

a  state  house,  on  this  glorious  Ver-­ mont  day,  know  this:  Vermont  is  the  best  state  in  the  country  for  quality  of  life.  The  best  place  to  live,  work  and  raise  a  family.  The  state  of  our  state  is  healthy,  re-­ silient  and  strong.  We  are  blessed  to  live  here,  and  we  care  deeply  about  our  shared  future.  Today  I  will  diverge  from  tradition  and  focus  this  speech  on  one  theme:  an  education  system  that  grows  Ver-­ mont’s  prosperity.  My  goal  â€“  and  the  single  objective  of  my  administration  â€“  remains  to  grow  jobs  and  incomes  for  working  Vermonters.  Our  educa-­ tion  system,  from  pre-­kindergarten  to  higher  education,  is  the  state’s  great-­ est  economic  development  tool.  Our  kids  routinely  test  above  the  national  average,  and  excel  in  a  wide  range  of  disciplines.  We  have  a  great  system  that  we  must  make  even  greater.  To  stay  on  top,  Vermont  must  fol-­ low  the  steps  of  our  predecessors,  who  refused  to  be  led  by  history,  but  instead  had  the  courage  and  imagina-­ tion  to  shape  it.  If  we  stand  by,  if  we  fail  to  innovate,  and  if  we  refuse  to  change,  we  will  slip  behind.  We  stand  on  the  shoulders  of  lead-­ HUV ZKR DW GHÂżQLQJ WLPHV FKRVH WR EH bold.  As  we  continue  our  slow  recov-­ ery  from  a  devastating  recession  and  a  devastating  storm,  I  believe  Ver-­ mont  is  again  poised  to  lead. We  are  on  the  right  path.  We  are  focused  on  getting  Vermont  off  our  addiction  to  oil  and  building  renew-­ ables,  and  we  now  have  more  high  tech  green  jobs  per  capita  than  any Â

other  state.  We  are  delivering  on  our  promise  to  grow  prosperity  by  con-­ necting  every  last  mile  of  Vermont  to  high-­speed  Internet  access  by  the  end  of  this  year.  We  are  implementing  WKH ÂżUVW FRPPRQ VHQVH VLQJOH SD\HU health  care  system  in  America,  where  health  care  is  a  right  and  not  a  privi-­ lege  and  where  we  contain  unsustain-­ able  rising  health  care  costs. We  are  adding  jobs.  Employers  across  the  state,  who  just  two  years  ago  might  have  been  contemplating  another  layoff,  are  looking  for  well-­ trained  and  skilled  workers.  Our  in-­ comes  are  slowly  rising.  In  2011,  Ver-­ mont  was  the  only  state  in  the  union  where  incomes  actually  rose  after  a  decade  of  stagnation.  But  it’s  not  enough.  The  seventh  lowest  unemployment  rate,  when  you  DUH VWUXJJOLQJ WR ÂżQG D MRE LV QRW ORZ enough.  Four  percent  income  growth  is  better  than  the  rest  of  America,  but  for  too  many  Vermonters  who  are  working  a  job  or  multiple  jobs  and  still  struggling  to  pay  their  bills,  it’s  not  enough.  Enjoying  one  of  the  fastest  economic  growth  rates  in  the  northeast  is  better  than  where  we  used  to  be,  but  for  so  many  moms  and  dads  like  me  who  want  their  kids  to  live  and  prosper  here  at  home,  it’s  not  enough.  Now  here’s  the  irony.  The  true  challenge  that  I  hear  day  in  and  day  out,  as  I  log  mile  after  mile  as  your  governor  traveling  Vermont,  is  this:  at  the  same  time  that  so  many  Ver-­ monters  need  to  make  more  money  to  make  life  work  and  at  the  same  time Â

education  past  high  school,  and  that  percentage  drops  as  family  incomes  decline.   Now  don’t  let  these  facts  dimin-­ ish  our  accomplishments.  Together,  we  have  done  innovative  and  cutting  edge  bipartisan  work  with  school  funding  in  the  past  decade  and  a  half  that  you  deserve  to  be  proud  of.  Ver-­ mont  took  a  regressive  property  tax  that  funds  our  most  important  obliga-­ tion  in  a  democratic  society  and  made  it  equitable  and  progressive,  giving  every  child  in  Vermont  an  equal  shot  at  resources  while  preserving  local  control.  Now,  some  like  it  and  some  don’t,  and  we  could  debate  it  until  the  cows  come  home,  and  I’m  sure  you  will.  But  in  doing  so,  we  ignore  the  next  RSSRUWXQLWLHV WKDW ZLOO GHÂżQH RXU IX-­ ture  prosperity.   Keep  in  mind  that  we  spend  more  money  per  pupil  than  all  other  states  in  the  country  except  for  WZR :H VSHQG PRUH WKDQ SHUFHQW above  the  national  average,  and  K-­12  spending  in  Vermont  has  grown  faster  over  the  last  decade  than  in  any  other  state  in  America.  But  the  following  simple  fact  ought  to  alarm  all  of  us:  with  the  vast  amount  of  money  that  we  spend  per  pupil  in  Vermont,  we  have  failed  to  move  more  low-­income  Vermont  kids  beyond  high  school.  Now  is  the  time  to  take  a  good  edu-­ cation  system  in  Vermont  and  make  it  the  best.  To  get  us  there,  let’s  take  action  on  the  following  four  areas.  *** First,  it  is  long  past  time  for  us  to  put  our  money  where  our  mouths  have  been,  and  strengthen  our  com-­ mitment  to  universal  early  childhood  education.   Let’s  remember,  while  90  percent  of  a  child’s  brain  is  developed  in  the  ¿UVW PRQWKV RI OLIH RQO\ IRXU SHU-­ cent  of  our  education  dollars  nation-­ ally  are  spent  during  this  critical  time.   The  evidence  is  overwhelming:  the  earlier  we  invest  in  our  children,  the  healthier,  more  productive  lives  they  will  have.   Taxpayers  win  too,  since  every  dollar  we  invest  in  early  child-­ hood  education  saves  seven  dollars  in  the  future.  Today,  I  propose  to  make  the  larg-­ est  single  investment  in  early  child-­ hood  education  in  Vermont’s  history.  :H ZLOO UHGLUHFW PLOOLRQ IURP WKH state’s  Earned  Income  Tax  Credit  to  make  high  quality  childcare  afford-­ able  to  hardworking  lower-­income  Vermonters.    There  is  no  bigger  ob-­ stacle  to  Vermont  parents  who  want  to  work  or  advance  than  the  high  cost  of  quality  childcare.   This  bold  action  will  nearly  double  the  state’s  contri-­ bution  to  childcare  for  low-­income  families.  My  administration  will  also  ensure  ¿QDQFLDO VXSSRUW WR FRPPXQLWLHV WKDW initiate  publicly  funded  preschool  programs  where  they  do  not  now  ex-­ ist.   Our  budget  will  include  resources  IRU ÂżUVW \HDU VWDUW XS FRVWV DIWHU ZKLFK communities  offering  pre-­school  pro-­ grams  will  be  eligible  for  reimburse-­ ment  through  the  education  fund.  I  will  invite  all  early  childhood  stakeholders  to  a  summit  to  build  and Â

nership  with  John  to  adopt  that  report. *** Finally,  we  must  do  a  better  job  of  focusing  the  education  of  our  children  -­  from  grade  school  through  college  -­  on  career  readiness.   We  can  do  a  bet-­ ter  job  of  personalizing  educational  opportunities  and  integrating  technol-­ ogy,  career  training  and  internships  with  traditional  classroom  education.   I  propose  that  Vermont’s  schools  develop  Personal  Learning  Plans  that  travel  with  each  student  from  elemen-­ tary  through  their  senior  year.  These  plans  would  help  guide  each  student’s  education  and  also  tie  educational  goals  to  career  opportunities,  making  school  more  relevant.  The  key  to  this  proposal  is  to  increase  our  students’  individual  options  while  fostering  a  connection  between  school  and  ca-­ reer.  We  must  also  address  our  poor  per-­ formance  in  math.  While  we  have  im-­ pressive  successes  to  celebrate  in  oth-­ er  disciplines,  Vermont  falls  off  the  rail  in  high  school  math.   The  2011  NECAP  results  tell  the  tale:  68  per-­ cent  of  students  in  grades  3  through  DUH SURÂżFLHQW LQ PDWK :KHQ WKH\ take  the  test  in  11th  grade,  only  36  SHUFHQW DUH SURÂżFLHQW /HW PH UHSHDW that:  36  percent.  This  is  as  alarming  as  it  is  unaccept-­ able,  but  unfortunately,  no  one  should  be  surprised.  Currently,  algebra  is  re-­ quired  in  only  47  percent  of  Vermont  high  schools,  and  geometry  in  only  SHUFHQW :H FDQ Âż[ WKLV ZLWKRXW

spending  one  additional  dime.  Today,  I  reiterate  my  call  to  require  that  all  9th  graders  take  algebra  and  all  10th  graders  take  geometry.  Math  skills  in  the  new  economy  are  more  important  than  ever  before.   We  must  also  do  more  to  utilize  our  17  career  and  technical  education  centers  around  the  state  that  provide  opportunities  for  students  and  adults  who  need  to  update  skills  to  advance  their  earning  power.   I  propose  using  the  centers  as  the  foundation  for  Vermont  Innovation  Zones  throughout  the  state.  Our  cur-­ rent  funding  system  does  not  encour-­ age  centers  to  match  the  needs  of  re-­ gional  employers.   These  Innovation  Zones  will  focus  on  areas  of  educa-­ tion  and  professional  opportunity  that  ¿W WKH QHHGV RI WKHLU UHJLRQ For  instance,  let’s  go  back  to  the  opportunities  on  the  horizon  in  the  .LQJGRP WKH QHHG WR ÂżOO WKH KLJK tech,  high  skill  jobs  that  will  soon  be  available.  Under  my  proposal,  high  schools  and  tech  centers  in  the  King-­ dom  would  become  an  Innovation  Zone  and  would  be  able  to  shift  cur-­ rent  generic  course  requirements  to  focus  on  those  that  provide  the  train-­ LQJ WKH UHJLRQ QHHGV )RU H[DPSOH the  Kingdom  may  choose  to  focus  heavily  on  engineering,  hospitality,  and  health  care  courses  that  would  result  in  Kingdom  jobs  for  Kingdom  kids.    We  have  the  tools  available  now  to  connect  students  and  adult  learn-­ ers  with  new  opportunities,  but  we Â

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School is pleased to present Ryan Kelley as its Student of the Week. Ryan lives in Brandon with his parents, Monda and Peter Kelley. His brother, Robert, attends RIT. Throughout high school Ryan has been on the Scholars’ and Honor Roll, taking the hardest classes Otter Valley has to offer (AP Literature, European Studies, Calculus, French 5). He was named to the National Honor Society as a junior. Recently he was chosen, as one of the top student athletes in the state, to accept an award at the Vermont State Athletic Directors Association (VSADA) and to give a speech to many other high school students. He is ranked seventh in his grade for GPA. He has received many awards throughout high school, including the French award as a freshman and the George Washington Book Award as a junior. He was one of the Otter Valley representatives to go to Boys’ State over the summer. Ryan has run on the cross-country team since grade 9 and since his sophomore year has been on the basketball and baseball teams. He is the class treasurer and is a member of OV Interact, an organization that lately has helped families in need, raised money for underprivileged children, Ryan  Kelley and raised money for Breast Cancer awareness. Soon Interact will take part in O.V.U.H.S. Ryan’s favorite event: sorting food at the Vermont Food Bank. Ryan became involved in OV Interact as a sophomore and says, “I never looked back. I consider myself a leader while doing it, helping the underclassmen while staying focused on what’s really important; helping others.â€? Ryan says if he could give advice to any other students, it would be to get involved in as many things as possible. He says, “Get involved LQ VFKRRO VSLULW VSRUWV DFDGHPLFV DQG RWKHU DFWLYLWLHV WR Ă€QG RXW ZKDW \RX UHDOO\ OLNH 7KHUH DUH QR JXLGHOLQHV WR KLJK VFKRRO WKDW VD\ ZKDW you can and cannot do, so try to do everything. Stay busy and enjoy the best time of your life.â€? Ryan most likely will attend college in the Northeast, majoring in business/economics. He would also like to play a college sport, either basketball or running track. “One thing I know,â€? he says, “Otter Valley has taught me to love everything no matter what I am doing.â€? Suzanne Gott, OV Interact adviser, describes Ryan as “an exceptional young man.â€? Meredith McCartney, his guidance counselor, says “Ryan is hardworking, determined, humorous and caring. And Michael Dwyer, English Department head, says, “I admire his honesty and integrity.â€? Everyone at Otter Valley wishes Ryan the best in his future.

Mia enjoys spending time with her friends and family, traveling, experiencing new places, reading, going to the beach, going to concerts, playing with her dogs, dancing, watching movies, listening to music and doing other activities outdoors. When asked for her advice to other students, Mia said, “Try and experience a wide variety of opportunities; you never know when or ZKHUH \RX PLJKW Ă€QG DQ XQH[SHFWHG LQWHUHVW $OVR VWD\ WUXH WR \RXUVHOI DQG NHHS D SRVLWLYH RXWORRN HYHU\WKLQJ ZLOO HYHQWXDOO\ ZRUN out for the best.â€?

She then plans to go to college, preferably one that is near a city and water. She is currently undecided for a major. Mia’s AP Biology teacher, Samantha Kayhart, says, “Mia is a competent leader and team player. She doesn’t draw a lot of attention to herself, but she knows how to ask the right questions and get a job done without a lot of fuss. She cheerfully gives of her time to help others.â€? The Mount Abe community is proud of Mia’s accomplishments and wishes her a bright and successful future.

From  UVM  Extension

Openings  remain  for  master  gardener  class BURLINGTON  â€”  There’s  still  time  to  sign  up  for  the  2013  Uni-­ versity  of  Vermont  (UVM)  Exten-­ sion  Master  Gardener  course,  which  runs  Feb.  5  through  April  30.  The  course  will  be  offered  at  13  Vermont  Interactive  Technologies  sites  â€”  in-­ cluding  Hannaford  Career  Center  in  Middlebury  â€”  and  will  cover  a  wide  range  of  horticultural  topics. The  course  will  be  of  interest  both  to  individuals  who  just  want  to  learn  more  about  gardening  or  anyone  who  wants  to  obtain  Extension  Mas-­ WHU *DUGHQHU FHUWLÂżFDWLRQ WKURXJK D 40-­hour  internship  after  completing  the  course.  The  course  fee  is  $395  until  Jan.  18,  or  $420  after  that  date,  and  includes  13  class  sessions  and Â

the  game  and  will  host  a  friendly  competition  in  the  afternoon.  Meader  said  participants  are  expected  from  as  far  away  as  Montreal,  Maine  and  Massachusetts. The  games  developed  a  little  over  a  century  ago  â€”  Crokinole  in  On-­ tario,  Pitchnut  (which  is  spelled  â€œPi-­ chenotteâ€?  in  Quebecois  French)  in  southern  Quebec  â€”  but  both  have  enjoyed  a  resurgence  in  the  past  de-­ cade. Crokinole  is  already  played  ex-­ tensively  by  Canadians  from  British  Columbia  to  Prince  Edward  Island,  Meader  said. “But  it  took  Massachusetts  board-­ maker  Lee  Larcheveque  to  revive  the  game  of  Pitchnut  from  his  own  grandfather’s  sleepy  hometown  in  southern  Quebec,â€?  he  said.  â€œThe  number  of  players  for  Pitchnut  is  on  the  rise  in  the  Northeast,  Larch-­ eveque  has  sold  100  boards  to  date;Íž  and  both  games  are  as  addictive  as  they  are  easy  to  learn.â€? Meader,  who  works  as  a  GIS  in-­ structor  at  Middlebury  College,  grew  up  inventing  different  types  of  games. Âł, WKLQN LW VSHFLÂżFDOO\ VWDUWHG ZKHQ the  movie  â€˜Jumanji’  came  out  â€”  my  imagination  has  always  run  wild  with  them,â€?  he  said.  â€œBy  the  time  I  was  in  KLJK VFKRRO ,ÂśG EXLOW ÂżYH RU VL[ ERDUG games  and  made  up  a  few  dice  and  card  games,  only  two  of  which  we  ever  really  played  as  a  family.â€? He  said  he  got  into  Crokinole  about  a  decade  ago  during  middle  school  in  Maine  when  he  and  his  sis-­ ter  ran  across  a  strange  looking  board  in  their  nana’s  attic. “She  said  a  family  friend  had  made  her  board  and  they  used  to  play  with  some  folks  up  the  road,â€?  he  said.  â€œShe  knew  the  game  was  Canadian  but  not  much  else.â€? As  a  student  at  Middlebury  Col-­ lege,  Meader  continued  his  game-­ making  habits.  He  invented  a  hexagon-­shaped  game  board  called  Hyrojasan  with  a  community  of  BEN  MEADER  SETS  up  for  a  game  of  Pitchnut,  in  which  wooden  friends.  The  game  borrowed  from  Crokinole  and  a  variety  of  other  in-­ “coinsâ€?  must  be  knocked  into  one  of  four  corner  pockets. Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell spirations.  He  also  sought  to  research  the  Indian  game  of  Carrom,  the  sup-­ posed  ancestor  of  all  of  these  types  RI WDEOHWRS ³ÀLFNLQJ´ JDPHV ,Q KLV research  he  came  across  Pitchnut. His  interest  in  Crokinole  and  Pitchnut  continues  unabated. “They’re  both  great  games,  but  are  really  just  a  part  of  a  larger  history  of  folk-­games,â€?  Meader  said.  â€œLike  â€˜skittles,’  â€˜horseshoes,’  â€˜cornhole,’  â€˜bocce’  and  â€˜candlepin  bowling’  they  have  no  one  nameable  inventor  be-­ cause  most  great  games  have  no  one  author,  and  are  handed  down  person  to  person.  Rules  differ  from  place  to  place  because  people  always  shape  games  into  what  they  like.  â€œI  hope  Addison  County  gets  ex-­ cited  about  being  a  part  of  this  living  history.â€? The  entrance  fee  for  Croki-­Nut  Day  is  $5  in  advance  and  $8  at  the  door.  Advanced  registration  is  strong-­ ly  encouraged  by  emailing  Meader  at  benjaminmeader@gmail.com.  More  information  is  at  www.lincoln-­ peakvineyard.com/events.php.

It’s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing  related  activities.

Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist. And  it’s  easier  to  break  the  law  than  you  might  think.  You  can’t  say  â€œno  childrenâ€?  or  â€œadults  only.â€?  There  is  lots  you  can’t  say.  The  federal  government  is  watching  for  such  discrimination. Let  us  help  you  sift  through  the  complexities  of  the  Fair  Housing  Law.  Stay  legal.  Stay  on  the  right  side  of  the  nation’s  Fair  Housing  Law.  Call  the  Addison  Independent  at  (802)  388-­4944.

relevant  for  persons  who  generate,  handle  or  process  construction  and  demolition  waste  materials. The  workshop  will  focus  on  portions  of  Vermont’s  asbestos  and  solid  waste  disposal  regula-­ tions.   Personnel  from  the  Vermont  Department  of  Health’s  Asbestos  and  Lead  Regulatory  Program  and  the  Vermont  Department  of  Environmental  Conservation  Solid  Waste  Management  Program  will  discuss  how  Vermont’s  lead  and  asbestos  regulations  apply  to  attendees  and  their  businesses.  The  workshop  will  cover  a  variety  of  issues,  including  best  management Â

practices  for  handling  construction  and  demolition  debris,  and  how  to  keep  asbestos  and  other  hazardous  materials  out  of  the  waste  stream. In  addition  to  the  presentations,  there  will  be  time  allowed  for  ques-­ tions  from  workshop  attendees.  Snacks  and  beverages  will  also  be  provided.

Vergennes  solar (Continued  from  Page  1) week  that  he  saw  the  potential  for  both  immediate  and  long-­term  ener-­ gy  savings  for  the  city’s  sewer  plant,  WRZQ RIÂżFHV DQG WKH 9HUJHQQHV 2S-­ era  House,  public  works  building,  and  two  union  schools.  He  told  the  Independent  last  week  he  estimated  the  city  could  save  up  WR LQ SRZHU FRVWV LQ WKH ÂżUVW year,  assuming  at  least  3  acres  of  land  could  be  found  to  host  a  solar  farm  that  could  produce  750,000  kilowatt  hours  a  year.  The  savings  are  too  good  to  pass  up,  Hawley  said.  â€œI  told  the  city  council  my  focus  is  going  to  be  on  solar  for  the  next  month  or  two,â€?  he  said. Encore  head  Chad  Farrell  has  not  SUHSDUHG HVWLPDWHV IRU 9HUJHQQHV But  counting  the  $10,000-­a-­year  lease  payment  Encore  is  offering,  $2,000  annually  in  property  taxes,  and  savings  in  power  bills  â€”  Hawley  said  there  is  an  immediate  credit,  and  Farrell  said  the  power  will  be  sold  to  WKH FRPPXQLWLHV Âż[HG DW WKH FXUUHQW rate  for  the  next  20  years  regardless  of  inevitable  price  increases  â€”  Far-­ rell  estimated  Ferrisburgh  could  save  about  $500,000  in  20  years.  In  an  email  to  the  Independent,  Farrell  guessed  that  considering  the  power  usage  on  city  properties  and  the  city’s  share  of  reduced  power  costs  at  the  union  schools,  equal  sav-­ ings  were  possible.  â€œThis  depends  on  the  total  project  size  and  the  site  on  which  the  system  would  be  built  (things  like  distance  to  three-­phase  interconnection,  lo-­ cation,  construction  considerations,  etc.),â€?  Farrell  wrote.  â€œBased  on  the  sites  we  have  seen  and  discussed,  however,  I  would  imagine  that  the  savings  will  be  comparable  to  what  we  have  discussed  for  the  Ferris-­ burgh  project.â€? FERRISBURGH  STATUS Meanwhile,  that  Ferrisburgh  proj-­ ect  does  remain  on  track,  and  Farrell  said  as  long  as  the  town  acts  before  state  funding  for  net-­metered  alterna-­ tive  energy  projects  runs  out  it  would  be  possible  to  do  both.

“We  could  continue  to  move  the  projects  forward  expeditiously,â€?  ZURWH )DUUHOO ZKRVH ÂżUP KDV SUHYL-­ ously  worked  with  Burlington,  South  Burlington,  Middlebury,  Milton,  0LGGOHEXU\ &ROOHJH DQG 9HUJHQQHV on  the  Northlands  Job  Corps  wind  turbine.  â€œWe  â€Ś  think  there  could  actually  be  some  good  synergies  al-­ lowed  by  doing  the  two  projects.â€? Encore  has  proposed  to  put  its  Fer-­ risburgh  project  on  the  northwest  corner  of  the  34.9-­acre,  town-­owned  parcel  at  the  junction  of  Routes  7  and  22A.  The  town  has  been  market-­ ing  that  land,  which  has  within  it  a  9-­acre  parcel  zoned  for  light  industry,  among  other  uses.  Within  that  9  acres  there  is  a  4.5-­acre  building  envelope.  The  rest  of  the  land  is  either  wet-­ land  or  protected  by  conservation  or  agricultural  easements.  Cole,  who  has  looked  into  the  issue  while  help-­ ing  the  town  to  market  the  land  for  $375,000,  has  said  he  believes  the  solar  array  would  be  permitted  out-­ side  the  9-­acre  piece  that  is  key  to  its  overall  marketability.  Ferrisburgh  selectboard  chair-­

woman  Loretta  Lawrence  said  last  week  she  and  the  board  believe  the  QH[W VWHS LV WR FRQÂżUP ZKHWKHU WKDW LV the  case  before  they  look  further  into  a  deal  with  Encore,  and  the  board  has  given  that  task  to  the  town  attorney.  â€œWe  have  to  check  to  see  if  we  can  put  it  on  the  conservation  land,â€?  Lawrence  said.  â€œThat  has  to  be  our  priority  now.â€? If  that  obstacle  is  overcome,  the  board  will  still  have  questions,  she  said.  ³,I ZH SDVV WKH ÂżUVW KXUGOH RI WKH ODQG ZH ZRXOG EH ZDQWLQJ WR ÂżQG RXW more,â€?  she  said.  â€œWe’ll  continue  to  pursue  discussions.â€? VERGENNES  DETAILS Certainly,  there  are  questions  LQ 9HUJHQQHV WRR QRW WKH OHDVW RI ZKLFK +DZOH\ VDLG LV ÂżQGLQJ D VLWH Ideally,  enough  land  could  be  found  on  the  roughly  8  acres  that  houses  the  sewer  plant,  which  al-­ ready  offers  the  necessary  three-­ phase  power.  But  Hawley  acknowledges  things  might  be  tight  down  by  the  plant,  even  if  the  arrays  could  be  scattered Â

around  the  facility. Âł, WKLQN LW ZLOO EH GLIÂżFXOW WR SXW it  all  down  there,  but  we’re  going  to  look  at  it,â€?  he  said.  2WKHU FLW\ RZQHG ODQG LQFOXGHV parcels  off  New  Haven  Road  and  Comfort  Hill,  but  in  each  case  exten-­ sive  tree  clearing  would  be  required,  something  Hawley  believes  the  Pub-­ lic  Service  Board  might  frown  upon.  Private  land  on  Panton  Road,  possibly  school  property,  and  state-­ owned  land  near  Northlands  Job  Corps  are  also  under  consideration.  It  is  also  possible  that  a  smaller  array  could  go  down  near  the  sewer  plant  and  offer  lesser  savings.  Hawley  said  many  options  are  in  play. Farrell  said  Encore  will  work  TXLFNO\ WR KHOS FLW\ RIÂżFLDOV PDNH D decision,  and  that  the  company  was  already  looking  at  sites  as  of  late  last  week.  The  list  will  be  narrowed  down  soon,  he  said. “We  would  hope  to  have  a  site  or  two  selected  for  additional  investiga-­ tion  in  the  next  few  days,  maybe  by  mid-­week,â€?  he  said.  &HUWDLQO\ VFKRRO RIÂżFLDOV ZLOO OLV-­

ten  to  proposals  that  will  save  even  a  few  dollars  on  their  tight  budgets.  Cannon  called  it  a  wonderful  oppor-­ tunity.  ³2Q EHKDOI RI WKH VFKRROV ZH would  certainly  accept  any  savings  the  towns  have  to  offer,â€?  said  the  ANwSU  business  manager. Hawley  noted  that  Ferrisburgh  is  a  so-­called  â€œsending  town,â€?  and  even  small  cuts  to  the  community’s  school  spending  would  add  up.   â€œIf  there  is  an  opportunity  to  lower  the  per-­pupil  cost  even  a  little  bit,  it’s  a  huge  saving  to  the  Ferrisburgh  tax-­ payer,â€?  he  said. The  city  charter  requires  voter  ap-­ proval  for  any  real  estate  deal,  in-­ cluding  a  lease  for  a  solar  farm. With  potentially  hundreds  of  thou-­ sands  of  dollars  at  stake,  Hawley  hopes  to  have  something  in  place  for  voters  to  consider  on  Town  Meeting  Day. “I’m  dropping  everything  and  dealing  with  this,â€?  he  said.  â€œThat’s  real  money,  and  it’s  for  20  years.â€?
